ISAS Briefs

Recent developments, such as the battle of words between the North Koreans and the Americans, appear to be calling into question the planned summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Supreme Commander Kim Jong-un in Singapore on 12 June 2018. A cancellation of the event would be most unfortunate. South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in is travelling to Washington to try salvage the situation. Should he succeed in putting the rails of peace back on the track again, it would have positive ramifications, both for the region, including South Asia, and the world.
